wayne allisons tongues Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Can someone please tell me his position. Csme on today for Pato and looked lost, kept losing the ball and couldn’t work out where he was playing. Until he came on we looked pretty solid, Palmer comes on and straight away Shrewsbury chuck on there forward for they know he will not track back and we lost all shape. Why is it impossible for our players to play a forward pass. Weimann and Pato made endless runs to never receive the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Oh we can play a forward pass! If its a 60 yards aimless punt!! now that’s identity!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbcfc Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 His best position is the number 10 role but after we’ve passed it between the backline 5 times & allowed every defender to pick up their man giving him the ball & expecting him to find a killer pass is impossible.

Bs4Red Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Embarrassing for the goal, been on the pitch for 19 minutes and can’t track the of the cb. Constantly seeing people saying he should start etc but he’s done nothing in a city shirt since signing and is a luxury player who doesn’t work nearly hard enough.

Don't get how he gets away with it on here. It's quite incredible really how fans let him off. O'Dowda gets incredible stick from 90% on here, yet he does things like track his man. He works very hard. But I also understand Palmer has a lot of qualities too in the right shape and the right players playing with him. But he is what I'd call a luxury player, because his work rate is poor. And it's not so easy to fit someone like that into a side like it used to be. Running around and putting in the odd sliding tackle is not high work rate. High work rate is consistently over 90 minutes making the runs or tracking players. Lack of work rate and also lack of discipline. I will be surprised if he ever makes it higher than championship level unless he improves in these areas of his game.

At least with the likes of JET and Tomlin, they were lazy but fairly regularly produced magic.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Actually think that Pato looked far more dangerous than Palmer or Weimann tonight - not saying much but seemed an odd sub. Only thing I can think is he hasn’t played many 90 minutes lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_BCFC Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 He’s not good enough and hasn’t shown enough in the minutes he has been given to warrant a place in the starting 11. I fear he’s one of those players who had some promise because he came from a big club but will never fulfil his potential, wouldn’t be sad to see him go.

And it contributed to us completely losing control of a game that we were getting on top of and looking the more likely of the two sides to win, though hardly dominating.

Spot on, this isn’t the first time this season we’ve looked solid and in charge. Make a substitution and lose control of the game. For a coach who is suppose to be amazingly forward thinking and the football world respects, he makes way to many errors as a manager now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I hate to think how much we are paying him to trot around like a show pony for 20 mins every week. But that said he is not the only one by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hes a confidence player who proved at the start of the season when partnered with Afobe, he can spot runs. The issue is that players who play an advanced playmaker role need to know the rough team shape and passing lines so as to know when to come and receive to create a pivot and shift momentum. He's simply being shoehorned in by LJ with Fammy up front despite the former not knowing how to inegrate him. Ive seen people also reference Weimanns movement and how no one spots his runs - they do, the issue is that Andreas has a penchant for stopping his run instead of bending it to stay onside, when him and Kasey play together it then either works or the ball ends up put for a throw in. Afobe suited KP perfectly as he timed his runs with Kasey's pivot receiving the ball in the pocket, and bent his run as needed by running towards CB from the channel inside of the opposition right or left backs to create more space in the pocket as needed, giving KP further to carry the ball as needed, it also meant Afobe always had a yard on the Centre-back he squared up to when bending the run. Our off the ball movememt as a whole this season with the exception of Afobe was, and still is, completely lacklustre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the problem, he doesn’t get enough minutes, in and out of the squad or the odd 15/20mins here or there does no footballer at any level no good whatsoever. Kasey Palmer will get into pretty much every side in this league played in his correct position. He started v Shrews at home, although he wasn’t brilliant he was our best player, next game? Dropped again. IMO we should be setting up to include KP and NE in every game. Does make you wonder why LJ ever signed him, he’s wasted here.

Beni71 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Kasey Palmer going from the most talented player in the squad which can’t be sold to Swansea to an absolute under performer and also probably LJs fault for bringing him on. You’ve got to love Bristol City Fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 KPs best position is playing Central as a no. 10. That is also Szmodics best position and Pato's. However LJ doesn't set the team up to accommodate a no. 10 role, instead preferring AW because he runs around a lot. Fact he rarely combines with Fammy LJ completely overlooks.

Fordy62 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I don’t think we can truly judge Palmer until he’s playing under a new head coach. I just hope he lasts that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do sign Nketiah today it could make both LJ and KP if we can get him running in behind. The style, system and personnel couldn’t be any less suited to KP at the moment. That could change though with the arrival of a new striker or the return of Benik. Come March KP could be our best and most important player.

But I think his role in the team is to stay in front of the back 4 and cover any runners. He did that for the first hour mopping up around the back and covering Hunt when he went forward. They never really got in through the middle, because he was covering. Only when we changed formation with Palmer on and Pato off who was dropping in the hole behind Fammy did he start to struggle. This was because Palmer seemed to stick to the right wing in the way of Hunt Weimann and slowed things down. Leaving us short in the middle of the pitch which they exploited with there subs and we didn’t react to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Palmer works best in the hole behind the strikers, you need to tell him not to worry about defending, peoblem is we haven’t got a defensive midfielder in the squad to make up for this, to play him you need 2 of those, we haven’t got one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UREDS_91 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Need to play 3-5-2 to get the best out of Palmer, needs to have that defensive cover behind him so that he can concentrate on threading balls to attack. Putting him in a 2 man midfield is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 9 hours ago, mcbcfc said: expecting him to find a killer pass is impossible. Of course the other side of the equation being you also need forwards to regularly move into positions in which they can receive the ball? With Flappy seemingly homed to the touchlines and Static occupying his marker's shadow Show Pony would have to be a world beater were he able to bring them into the game (as we've seen he isn't.) We've also several players who are exemplar at being able to hide in plain sight. Palmer though isn't as bad as some are making out, I recall similar criticism being labelled at Peter Cormack and what does he have on his résumé? In his case we also had excellent midfielders in those key roles of winning ball/enforcement and cover/space fillers and I don't think what we have today are being best deployed under WeeLee to give him his best shot at success. That said, he isn't the first to suffer our managerial limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
